I'm just half way through Graves' WG (and several full readings before
really understanding it), but Katje seems to be a good cast for the part of
the White Goddess.  According to Graves (p70) she can appear as the white
goddess of birth and growth, the red goddess of love and battle or the black
godess of death and devination.  Cooresponding, also, to the three phase of
the moon: new moon, full moon and old moon.
